Chocolate chips are small, sweet morsels made primarily from sugar, cocoa solids, and cocoa butter, often complemented by ingredients like milk powder, lecithin, and vanilla for flavor and texture. Originating in the United States, chocolate chips debuted in the 1930s as an ingredient in the iconic chocolate chip cookie, and they are now a staple in desserts worldwide. While dark chocolate chips offer health benefits such as antioxidants and a lower sugar content, traditional milk chocolate chips are higher in sugar and fat, making them an occasional treat. They’re versatile for baking, melting, or adding texture to recipes, though consumers should moderate portions due to their calorie density. Opt for varieties with simpler ingredients or higher cocoa percentages for a slightly healthier choice.
